We have found out that the odbc piece of cloverleaf is an add on and we are trying to find out what it will provide us.
It seems like we could use jdbc which we can get for free and call it via java from the engine. Has anyone done this or have an idea of why we would be better off going with the odbc add on. The quote was fairly high considering that there are lots of free odbc drivers out there and I am having difficulty trying to justify the cost.
I would appreciate thoughts on both, cloverleaf odbc vs using jdbc.
thanks,
Nancy
